Knockdown may have been hyperbole. Think capable may be a better word to use there. Teams aren’t going to be able to sag off anyone.
Not to be our main shooter
This is why it would be nice if we had some footage of the Greek kid. But also the reason why I wouldn’t be surprised if two grade transfers came in
There’s been talking that Hurley only wants to add one more player through the portal, presumably a shooter. I honestly think we could use another 4/5 rebounding/defending type through the portal to fill the last scholarship opening. I’m not sure we have enough depth beyond Clingan, Singare, and Samson Johnson. And Singare and Samson don’t have a ton of experience between them.
Yes, you appear to be using the actual definition, instead of the idiot homer definition.
If either big could be like Amida Brimah we’ll be fine.
A shooter like Spencer would get us close. I feel like another big would get us even closer. I can’t think of a great reason why we’d keep an open scholarship for a year when the roster is so close to contending. We are UConn and fresh off a title. The goal each year should be a championship not a sweet 16. I don’t know if a great fit even exists in the portal for that role at this juncture. But why not explore it?
Hurley said managing 13 guys expecting to get minutes (or at least on scholarship like Hasson and Roumoglou) was tough this year. And as much as I'm a proponent of using all 13 scholarships, another guy looking for minutes doesn't really make sense.
That is a good point. And DH did a masterful job juggling minutes last year. I’m hopeful that Samson can take a step forward and that Singare can be an effective rebounder and rim protector even playing 8-10 minutes a game. I don’t think we need a ton of scoring from those guys. Clingan probably will be playing 27-30 minutes a game on average Id imagine if all goes well.
Hurley seems to like the 8 man rotation.
We, me included, were really spoiled by the depth of last year’s team and DH’s ability to manage it so well. That was a very special team.
We lose one great shooting starter in Hawkins and one great shooting bench player in Joey. We lose one really bad shooting starter in Jackson and one bad shooting bench player in Alleyne. Sanogo proved to be a very good shooter but he took threes infrequently.
There are Joey C's for sure that can hit the 3 but our suspect on d. Hopefully we can snag one with a little attitude like Joey had. Either way I would like to see 2 more shooters. I'm not worried with bigs as we have 3 guys who can bang there. You can never have enough shooters in today's game especially when some can be off on a given game.
Does the microwave scorer necessarily have to be a shooter? Because Solo can 100% fill that microwave role off the bench if we’re just talking about scoring and he can be a two way player.
